Package: dovecot-common
Version: 1:1.0.3-3
Severity: important
Tags: patch
I changed my default configuration to log to a file instead of using syslog.
Currently if one wants to use logrotate, he must hardcode the pid file
location in the postrotate section of the logrotate script. A cleaner solution
is to use /etc/init.d/dovecot reload, which already knows about all pid file
locations. The attached patch implements a reload of the logging subsystem by
sending a USR1 signal to dovecot as described here:
http://wiki.dovecot.org/Logging#head-8886f6e09e2f691a4c45448f18f914c124dead50
If you find this useful feel free to include in the official distribution.
